Syntax

public sealed class TracingConfigBuilder

Methods

AddCustomMessageFilter(IFilterRule)

Add a new message filter to the tracing ruleset.

Declaration

public TracingConfigBuilder AddCustomMessageFilter(IFilterRule rule)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
IFilterRule	rule	A new filer rule to use.

Returns

Type	Description
TracingConfigBuilder

AddExcludeMessageFilter<T>()

Add a new message filter to the tracing ruleset - excludes all messages of type T.

Declaration

public TracingConfigBuilder AddExcludeMessageFilter<T>()

Returns

Type	Description
TracingConfigBuilder

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T

AddIncludeMessageFilter(Predicate<Object>)

Add a new message filter to the tracing ruleset.

Declaration

public TracingConfigBuilder AddIncludeMessageFilter(Predicate<object> rule)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Predicate<System.Object>	rule	A new filer rule to use.

Returns

Type	Description
TracingConfigBuilder

AddIncludeMessageFilter<T>()

Add a new message filter to the tracing ruleset - includes all messages of type T.

Declaration

public TracingConfigBuilder AddIncludeMessageFilter<T>()

Returns

Type	Description
TracingConfigBuilder

Type Parameters

Name	Description
T

DisableAllTracing()

Disables Phobos tracing entirely.

Can be overridden if there are subsequent calls to SetTraceUserActors(Boolean) or SetTraceSystemActors(Boolean), so make sure this is the final call on the builder.

Declaration

public TracingConfigBuilder DisableAllTracing()

Returns

Type	Description
TracingConfigBuilder

IncludeMessagesAlreadyInTrace(Boolean)

When VerboseTracing(Boolean) is set to false, this setting will allow messages for which a FilterDecision.NoDecision has been issued to be included in the trace if there is an active trace already in place.

This setting does nothing if VerboseTracing(Boolean) is set to true as those messages will already be included.

Declaration

public TracingConfigBuilder IncludeMessagesAlreadyInTrace(bool include)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Boolean	include	Set this value to false if you want to exclude all messages that aren't explicitly matched by a filtering rule when VerboseTracing(Boolean) is disabled.

Returns

Type	Description
TracingConfigBuilder

Remarks

Set this to false if you want to minimize the amount of tracing data produced by Phobos.

SetAppendLogsToTrace(Boolean)

Toggles the appending of logs recorded via ILoggingAdapter to the active span inside all actors, when present.

Declaration

public TracingConfigBuilder SetAppendLogsToTrace(bool enabled)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Boolean	enabled	Toggle value.

Returns

Type	Description
TracingConfigBuilder

Remarks

This can be used to significantly compress the size of traces generated by Phobos, at the cost of losing context for what the actors were doing while processing messages. This setting applies system-wide.

SetCreateTraceUponReceive(Boolean)

Toggles automatic span creation upon message processing on or off system-wide.

Declaration

public TracingConfigBuilder SetCreateTraceUponReceive(bool enabled)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Boolean	enabled	Toggle value.

Returns

Type	Description
TracingConfigBuilder

Remarks

Disabling this system-wide will require the user to create all spans manually via the UsableContext (for messages received with active trace enabled) and Tracer (to record new spans using Phobos' System.Diagnostics.ActivitySource.)

SetLogMessageEvents(Boolean)

Toggles LogMessageEvents.

Declaration

public TracingConfigBuilder SetLogMessageEvents(bool enabled)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Boolean	enabled	Toggle value.

Returns

Type	Description
TracingConfigBuilder

Remarks

Disable this setting if you want to reduce the number of events created per-span when Phobos is automatically recording akka.msg.recv spans.

SetTraceActorLifecycle(Boolean)

Toggles the tracing of actor lifecycle (PreStart, PostStop, etc), actor creation, and actor termination.

Declaration

public TracingConfigBuilder SetTraceActorLifecycle(bool enabled)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Boolean	enabled	Toggle value.

Returns

Type	Description
TracingConfigBuilder

SetTraceAkkaPersistence(Boolean)

Toggles Akka.Persistence tracing on or off.

Declaration

public TracingConfigBuilder SetTraceAkkaPersistence(bool enabled)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Boolean	enabled	Toggle value.

Returns

Type	Description
TracingConfigBuilder

SetTraceAsk(Boolean)

Toggles TraceAsk.

Declaration

public TracingConfigBuilder SetTraceAsk(bool enabled)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Boolean	enabled	Toggle value.

Returns

Type	Description
TracingConfigBuilder

Remarks

Defaults to true, which allows Ask{T} operations to be traced.

SetTraceFilter(ITraceFilter)

This sets the ITraceFilter for the entire Phobos installation.

Overwrites all AddIncludeMessageFilter(Predicate<Object>) and related calls. Only one ITraceFilter can be active at a time.

Declaration

public TracingConfigBuilder SetTraceFilter(ITraceFilter filter)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
ITraceFilter	filter	The ITraceFilter to use.

Returns

Type	Description
TracingConfigBuilder

SetTraceSystemActors(Boolean)

Toggles tracing of all /system actors on or off.

Declaration

public TracingConfigBuilder SetTraceSystemActors(bool enabled)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Boolean	enabled	Toggle value.

Returns

Type	Description
TracingConfigBuilder

Remarks

Off by default.

SetTraceUserActors(Boolean)

Toggles tracing of all /user actors on or off.

Declaration

public TracingConfigBuilder SetTraceUserActors(bool enabled)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Boolean	enabled	Toggle value.

Returns

Type	Description
TracingConfigBuilder

Remarks

On by default. If this setting is off, then only actors that implement the IWithTracing interface will trace.

VerboseTracing(Boolean)

Enables or disables "verbose" tracing. Enabled by default.

When enabled, this allows new traces to begin for any message for which a FilterDecision.NoDecision has been issued - meaning that no one has explicitly included or excluded this message.

Declaration

public TracingConfigBuilder VerboseTracing(bool beVerbose)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.Boolean	beVerbose	When true, enables verbose mode.

Returns

Type	Description
TracingConfigBuilder

Remarks

Set this to false if you want to minimize the amount of tracing data produced by Phobos.
